Wilier Izoard XP - Debut

After a long week of waiting, I can finally get a better run with this new bike. I had a full run from Sunny Bay to Airport and then a return on the same route, total about 37km and I am not better more idea of how road bike feels like. Hopefully I will get better feeling with the bike later on.

After getting into this sports (of cycling) for 4 months, I am now more comfortable to dive deeper into it. And so I have traded my fold-able Dahon Latte. And I bought this Wilier road bike and advance to a new experience of cycling.

This is the beginner level of carbon Wilier bike, with Shimano 105 group set, and a pair of Shimano RS30. I plugged in my 105 pedals I was using on Latte into it and this is how it goes~

I have enjoyed the first test run in such a nice sunset Sunday. Hopefully I will be sticking with it for longer time and train myself up with the new performance of road bike. ^^

Added some weathering effects from acrylics and enamel.

Need to be speed things up during my beloved's business trip. I have to gt as much progress as possible during her absence so I can spare more time with her later on.

But this clear coat is a beast! It is now very hard and I found it difficult to polish to a satisfying gross. It took at least double time for the same gross I had with GX100. But the gross it result is wonderful. Not sure it worth the effort after all but it doesn't hurt to try new products anyway~

I have tried the clear coat from Barchetta for the first time. It works almost the same as the Finisher GP2 paints. There are already containers in the package so I am able to do some better measurement when mixing the paint. Anyway, I didn't really have any comment about the paint yet as they are still drying now.... Wish me luck~~
